« on: June 23, 2011, 11:46:16 am »
I Was Watching A Show On Submarines, And Found Out Former President George H W Bush Was Saved By The USS Finback (SS-230)

Unfortunately it was sold for scrap in 1959

Yes, I Did Forget About It, but That Was Another Good One.

I think "Crash Dive" could be used for Early Alpha Versions

Operation Petticoat For Later Betas (Petticoat = Trying To Keep It Together).

I Have Been Cutting On A Big Tree That Fell On My Fence In My Yard A Few Days Ago, We Had 65mph Winds.

I Got Wood All Over The Front Yard, I Did Fix The Fence Today.
